2. The Phoenix software says the TX must be set to PPM and not PCM, I cannot see any settings for this inmy DX7 so am assuming it only uses the correct mode? quote]

dunno if it's the same as the DX6i -but I had to set up a new model that was just a Helicopter.

DX7 is 2.4 Ghz.
PPM and PCM are used in 35 Mhz transmitters.

Just setup a new model in your Tx as a helicopter and away you go

Phoenix sessions have been much better, I use a seperate memory in my DX7 and having got the heli trimmed I can maintain a reasonable hover.
Am now working on nose in hovering and some general manoeuvring.

Hey Andy,
Just another beginner and spending a lot more time on Phoenix than flying anything proper!
My CX3 in real life is a bit tame so bought a Trex 250 kit and built that, then work took me away before I could finalise set up and actually have a proper flight. Basic spin up was good though!
So, on the sim whilst I'm travelling and it was NOT really getting much better - where was this magical moment when hovering was suddenly easy? In desperation I finally put in some real settings for pitch/throttle and now life seems easy - even a moderate hover with the 250 is not impossible! Why didn't I do that before!! Can't wait to get hom to (amongst other things!) give the 250 a real flight!
As everyone keeps saying, it's not meant to be easy, but it sure seems to have its rewards!

Cheers,

Bill.
